Crafting a green community in Flatbush

Sustainable Flatbush is a great example of a community bonding through building a green lifestyle. As a non-profit, they pursue their mission of creating an equal-opportunity, sustainable neighborhood through the arts, forums, volunteer groups, gardening workshops, livable streets initiatives, and partnerships with local businesses.

Sustainable Flatbush is mobilizing the neighborhood around their Zero Waste initiative, which addresses re-purposing from multiple angles - composting, upcycling, and swap events.
